    The Scour toolbar doesn't appear to be compatible with Firefox 3 yet.

    Love the idea and the core features. However, I would have done without the point system and the gift card... makes the site feel gimmicky and adds a 'cheese' factor to the whole thing -- strategic mistake.
  • PaulGlazowski · 1 year ago
    Yes, idea's good, but I agree, the points system may hinder its fortunes. All depends on who ends up being the core user base.

    Kinda lame to incorporate the points system and game type of factor... look at the future of search and web 3.0 here ... www.gothamtechminute.blogspot.com

    I belive this service will have a small life ... we'll see.
  • PaulGlazowski · 1 year ago
    The hill climb is a steep one, definitely. But who knows...
  • David Jaeger · 1 year ago
    We are currently facing a similar dilemma... We built a service that has utility value, but added a points system to it as well. The questions is, is there any value in adding a rewards system to something that is already useful? (Think Credit Cards?)

    Are the advertising revenues from search advertising gonna be split between Scour and the search engine?
  • David Jaeger · 1 year ago
    @oldskoolmark. Scour is obviously a publisher in the GOogle and Yahoo networks, and is making money off of the paid search results.

    (I had this wacky plan to help non-profits do their google adsense start pages... but it got relegated to my todo list)

    i think they donot pay well. i have made 6500 points also. but i didnot get any response from them, when i apply for my cash. avoid this site. this is very scam .
  • Reel Advice · 1 year ago
    Hi! Why not give it a try? There's nothing to lose actually. For me, after using it for two days, I'm quite impressed with the search engine. It's slower than Google perhaps but it gives the same results and heck, it might even pay me someday.
